Stop me if you've heard this one. I felt so good Friday after chemo that I went out and did a bunch of stuff and rode my motorcycle all over town and had a ball. I was so tired Friday night that I fell asleep in my recliner. Saturday I kept at it and had more fun. Then Saturday afternoon I ran out of steam and went to bed early. I have slept most of the day today. Yeah, I was out running around, burning all my energy and not taking care of myself and today I am paying for it. I did get five new gardenias planted in the backyard and I got the wisteria cut back some. I also fixed a leaky hose faucet that required three trips to the hardware store. Not to mention dealing with a slightly sunburned bald head from riding around all day Friday.

So no posts for the last couple of days. Not feeling too spry today either. Not much humor to draw on. Just feeling run down and hoping that a load of sleep tonight will get me through the day tomorrow. This is a week off from chemo so my strength and energy could improve over the course of the week. By next weekend I could be strong enough to go through another two weeks of chemo.

My signs, except for the energy levels, are pretty good. Weight is steady, blood sugars are okay. The chemo doesn't hurt any more. I can't say if that is good or not. I feel something in my gut near my pancreas, it doesn't hurt, it just sort of pulses occasionally. It has me sort of worried, but I reason that if it was bad it would hurt rather than just sort of twinge. Not much to be done about it right now anyway. Just have to wait for the MRI in June to five us information.

I am going off to nap now. Had too much fun and I am paying for it.
